Thank you, thank you, thank you. I made it to Paris and back again.

I covered 420 miles over five days - Cherbourg to Caen, Caen to Evreux, Evreux to Paris, Paris to Rouen and then, finally, Rouen to Le Havre.

More than 150 people took part in the ride, each raising money for their chosen charity.

To this date more than £70,000 has been raised by this year's ride.

You have helped me raise more than £5,000 for a Brighton-based project run by Barnardo's, so thank you very much indeed.

You may recall I also held a competition to see how long it would take me to cycle the first day. I came in at seven hours, 49 minutes and 48 seconds. The winner of the Magnum of Veuve Clicquot was Tony, who came closest at 7 hours and 47 minutes.

Once again, many thanks for your support.
